I’d rather have a filmmaker swing for the fences on a big original idea..
..than watch derivative slop.
Oh, I'm definitely still going to watch this for sure. It'd probably remain a gargantuan mess but yeah we don't see this kind of movie with *that* kind of budget anymore. I will admit I figured it'd wind up a flop as soon as I heard the words 'passion project'. A lot of directors did the same thing and their movies flopped too. Hell, look at Kevin Costner just this year with "Horizon".
